F/U to my terrible haircut(really random vent)

The stylist, and I use that term generously, may have made me look like the brunette Kate Gosselin, but it's since turned into more of a shaggy dog do. My hair is too curly and I'm too busy to tame it.

And it's sooooooo short! I hate, hate, hate it!

Worst. Haircut. Ever.

  • Hipster pigtails.

    It's the only solution.

  • Maybe you can borrow your son's cute little Cal cap.  Or start wearing doo rags.  Maybe they'll make a comeback and you can be ahead of the fashion.

  • that really sucks! I'm dealing with a really bad color job right now and I feel like elvira....way too dark!
  • oh no, you guys are making me nervous as I am getting my hair cut, colored, and highlighted tomorrow. I am going to my summer color...light.

    I totally understand what you are going through.  In January 2009 when I was pregnant I went to a new stylist and she cut my hair into a subtle mullet.  All I said was "I need to be able to pull my hair back into a ponytail."  Well needless to say I was giving birth in July and I still had hair in my face because I could not pull it back. 

    For a year I lived in headbands.  Thank god I can rock the preppy 80s look!

  • Bad haircuts are the worst!   And bad dye-jobs are just as bad.

    For those of you friends with me on Facebook, you've seen my new 'do?au naturel!  I've given up on styling it and fighting the humidity and have just let it curl.  It's actually less frizzy this way.  DH prefers my hair straight (and so do I) but there's no way I have time to blow it out or fight Mother Nature.

    Here's a pic if you haven't see it:

    Thankfully my stylist is quite good. She talked me out of cutting it short during my pregnancy and recommended the curls for these hot, humid Summer months. I want to get highlights... probably will at my next appt.

    Thanks for the support, ladies!

    I'm going to another colorist once my hair's recovered, and I'm going to try some hipster pigtails once it's long enough. :)

  • This is why I have had the same stylist for 6 years. I have to save to afford him and can really only go every 3 months because he's so expensive but he does such a good job that I keep going.

  • You need to check out hair accessories. They do have really cute barettes & headbands. Having siad that...I need a haircut & color again desperatly. Sienna has given me sort of bangs so now I may have to actually get a shorter face frame to blend in with it.

  • Awww, hugs! I'm so sorry--bad haircuts are just the worst (and I swear stylists screw up curly hair so dang easily!). Cute accessories--headbands, barrettes...stock up on some you love and maybe it'll make it at least a little better? I totally feel for you (your post makes me remember the heinous razor cut I got years ago that left me with a freaking mullet).

  • A stylist who really knows how to cut curly hair is worth his or her weight in gold!  I have a few that I go between depending on how I wear my hair.  But when it's curly, only one of them is allowed to go near it with scissors!
